EP02: How I Got Into Leadership and the Twist and Turns After (Leadershift)

Описание: Episode Summary

Leadership doesn’t always begin with a title—it often starts with a quiet invitation. In this deeply personal episode of Philline the Blanks, Philline shares how leadership found her long before she ever claimed the word.

From hospitality, tourism, tech-enabled startups, public service, digital commerce, and national-level brand leadership, this episode traces the leadershifts that shaped her—micro moments of trust, rapid promotions, large-scale operations, crisis leadership during the pandemic, and purpose-driven pivots that redefined success.

This conversation isn’t just about career growth. It’s about character. About how leadership evolves from performance to influence, from authority to stewardship, and from ambition to alignment. Episode 2 invites you to reflect on your own leadership journey—the twists, the turns, and the blank spaces in between.
